Under Kurosaki Ichigo's sudden outburst, Tsukishima Hidekuro couldn't help but take a few steps back.
But soon the surprised expression on his face gradually calmed down, and he even showed an interesting smile again: "It's really surprising, Kurosaki Ichigo. Compared with just now, it has only been a while, but there is such a huge
Changes. Not bad! Your current power...has become very similar to your past power."
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo remained silent after hearing this.
Of course he can see his current situation.
Just like what Taihu Chadatari felt before, his power of full expression is based on the Death Agent Certificate, and its prototype is obviously his own self when he was a 'God of Death'.
But...so what?
In short, no matter what kind of power it is, as long as it can be used for fighting, it will be fine.
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo felt that his power could threaten the man in front of him, so he prepared to pursue the victory.
But the next moment, a faint voice sounded: "'Intruders will die.'"
"!!"
As he spoke, a dark shadow that seemed like a data stream spreading in the void suddenly enveloped Kurosaki Ichigo, and his entire body was swallowed up by a pitch-black space.
"What's this?"
Kurosaki Ichigo looked confusedly at the dark space he was in at the moment, a little at a loss, "What happened? Let me out! Hey!"
"'Intruders must die', my full expression technique."
A voice suddenly sounded, and Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled, because something like a screen appeared in front of him, allowing him to see the situation outside.
At this moment, the boy who usually huddled in the corner of the bar playing games appeared on the screen. He was holding a black game console in his hand and calmly looked at Hidekuro Tsukishima on the opposite side.
However, it seemed that the other party only showed the picture for a moment to explain the situation. The next moment, Kurosaki Ichigo was once again plunged into darkness.
"Is that so...you don't want me to come into contact with Kurosaki Ichigo, who has not yet completed his genjutsu?" Hidekuro Tsukishima looked at the boy in front of him with a faint smile and called his name, "Yukio."
At this moment, there was a box made of spiritual energy with the word 'SAVE' engraved on it like a black box suspended in the midair between him and Yukio.
Creating a game space and trapping people in it is Yukio's full expression ability "Intruders must die".
"But did you make a mistake? If you really want to prevent me from contacting Ichigo Kurosaki, shouldn't you lock me in?" Hidekuro Tsukishima asked with a smile, "After all,
If I defeat you outside, wouldn't everything you do be meaningless?"
"Sorry," Yukio replied calmly, "The current power is not enough to 'store' you inside. And this is not the purpose of 'stored' Kurosaki Ichigo. You should be able to notice if you listen carefully.
Are you there?"
"..."
Tsukishima Hidekuro frowned slightly and listened.
The noise downstairs is getting louder and louder.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be aware of it, Yukio continued: "There are more and more people watching the excitement below. Although I don't know who reported it, the police and fire brigade should have also arrived. For such a conspicuous explosion, the TV station
The helicopter might also fly over~ These things will also trouble you, right? Mr. Tsukishima."
"Heh... uh..."
Tsukishima Hidekuro smiled softly, as if he didn't really care about it, but the next moment, he was stunned again.
Because a cold touch suddenly came from his back.
“‘Love Gun’?”
He chuckled and turned his head to look at Riluka who had appeared behind him at some point and pointed a toy gun with angel wings at his back. He smiled lightly and said, "That's it, Yukio, what do you mean?
Are you talking so much just to attract my attention?"
"That's right." Riruka, who was holding the gun, answered instead of Yukio, "You should know what kind of weapon this is, because it was made by you yourself. So...can you please disappear immediately? I
Not very good at dealing with situations like this.”
"We will leave with Ichigo Kurosaki, Mr. Tsukishima." Yukio on the other side also suggested lightly, "If you want to be exposed in front of the ordinary people watching the fun below, just stay here."
"..."
Hidekuro Tsukishima fell silent upon hearing this.
Visible to the naked eye, his face gradually turned gloomy.
············
Dong dong dong——
At Karakura Town General Hospital, there was a knock on the door of Uryu Ishida's ward.
Uryū Ishida, who was leaning on the hospital bed and reading a book, turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the door, and said calmly: "Please come in."
Bang——
The sliding door was opened, and Inoue Orihime carefully poked her head out: "Ishida... why did you come to see me?"
"Sorry, I came to you suddenly." Uryu Ishida closed the book with a slight apology on his face, "Thank you for coming to the appointment."
"Ah! It doesn't matter...but what happened? Is your injury recovering well?" Inoue Orihime asked with concern, "Actually, I have been thinking...if you are willing to let me treat you.
If you have any injuries... you should be able to recover a long time ago."
"Yes, this is also the purpose of calling you here this time."
Ishida Uryu explained calmly, "Frankly speaking, because of that man, the last thing we want is to involve you in trouble.
No...even if I'm not that man, I don't have the habit of dragging others down.
If I was the only one being targeted, I would probably choose to isolate myself from everyone and solve the problem alone, as I have done until now, but things have changed now."
As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Inoue Orihime, "I heard from Chad... someone has already taken the initiative to find you, right?"
"Yes...yes." Inoue Orihime nodded slightly.
"In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about." Uryu Ishida nodded slightly, "The enemy's target is obviously not 'me', but Kurosaki."
"Kurosaki?" Inoue Orihime was a little confused when she heard this. Why was Kurosaki involved when it was clearly the two of them who were attacked?
"The reason why the other party attacked us was just to confuse the public and disrupt our judgment." Uryu Ishida seemed to see the confusion in Inoue Orihime's eyes and explained, "As for why I made such a judgment...
Because at this moment, Kurosaki has been in contact with my attacker."
"!!!"
Inoue Orihime was even more surprised when she heard this, "What on earth is going on?"
"You should be able to vaguely feel it, right? There is an extremely familiar spiritual pressure that is gradually growing. Although it feels a little different from before, it is indeed Kurosaki's spiritual pressure."
Ishida Uryu frowned slightly and explained, "I am a Quincy, and my perception ability is stronger than yours, so I can clearly sense... Not long ago, Kurosaki's spiritual pressure and the spiritual pressure that attacked me
It seems that I have frequent contact with you. And Sadatari is also there.”
"How could they... mix together?" Inoue Orihime still looked confused.
"I don't know, but it's obviously not a fight." Uryu Ishida continued, "With Kurosaki's character, if he knew that the guy had attacked us, he would never be able to get along with him peacefully. So he and Cha
Du must have been deceived.
The other party is probably targeting one of them. I prefer Kurosaki, because during this time Kurosaki suddenly had spiritual pressure again. This change makes me feel very strange.
They must be approaching Kurosaki with some purpose, so I'm worried that he and Sadatari will be in danger.
Please heal me, Inoue. I think I can't sit here and wait for death any longer."
"Hmm...Okay, I will treat you right now!" Inoue Orihime seemed to understand the seriousness of the problem after hearing this, and agreed without hesitation.
However, Ishida Uryu seemed to have thought of something again, and suddenly asked: "Wait... I have another question before that..."
"What?" Inoue Orihime wondered.
"Please feel it carefully now."
Ishida Uryu frowned slightly and asked, "Do you feel it? At this moment, Kurosaki's spiritual pressure is fighting against a certain spiritual pressure.
Are you familiar with this spiritual pressure?"
"!!"
After hearing this, Inoue Orihime immediately began to sense it carefully, but the next moment her face turned ugly, "This is... the spiritual pressure of the person who attacked me!"
"As expected..."
Ishida Uryu seemed to have figured everything out after hearing this.
He originally thought that the person who attacked him and the person who attacked Inoue were the same person, because that was what Chadou had guessed when he came here.
But now it is obvious that Sadatari and Ichigo were completely deceived.
The guy who attacked him... wasn't just one person, but two.
Yes, one of them is the person Ichigo Kurosaki is fighting against at this moment, and the other... is the person who is helping Ichigo Kurosaki fight against this person at this moment.
These two guys are clearly on the same team! At this moment, they are playing in harmony with Kurosaki!
Although Ishida Uryu has not yet figured out what the other party's purpose is, he feels that it is better for him to remain silent and not tell anyone around him his judgment.
Because Chado mentioned one thing here...
That is because there was something wrong with Inoue's memory, and she mistakenly thought that the person who attacked her was a 'friend'.
This is a very dangerous sign.
Therefore, even if Inoue was willing to treat him at this moment, he could not completely trust the Inoue in front of him.
"Kurosaki is in danger!?" Inoue seemed to become a little nervous after sensing the spiritual pressure.
"No, there shouldn't be any for the time being." Uryū Ishida replied calmly, "Anyway, I'll leave my injury to you."
"Well, I'll treat you right away, and then we'll go together..."
"good……"
············
The words 'NOWLOADING' appeared on the pitch black box that sealed Ichigo Kurosaki.
Just like playing a game, soon after the progress bar was loaded, the dark box disappeared like a data stream, and Kurosaki Ichigo fell out of it in embarrassment.
"Okay, reading completed." After Yukio finished all this, he put away the game console in his hand and said calmly.
"here it is……"
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at his surroundings in confusion.
It seemed that while he was locked in the dark room, the battle had ended, and the gang had moved him to a new stronghold.
"This is our backup base."
On the side, Ginjo Kugo explained calmly, "The comfort level is far different from the previous place, so just make do with it."
"Um, are you serious about saying this in front of me?" Yukio complained speechlessly, "Originally, I was thinking about renovating this place. Really, I'm obviously spending other people's money.
But I still have the nerve to complain... I also paid for the repairs to the base over there. But with such a big hole, I have to calculate whether it is more cost-effective to repair it to its original appearance or to just rebuild a new base."
"I'm sorry..." Ginjo Kūgo felt ashamed when he heard this, saying that you are the boss if you have money, "But the culprit is Sadatari... that guy is too impulsive."
"Where is Tsukishima?" Kurosaki Ichigo interrupted the meaningless exchange between the two and asked.
"He... has temporarily retreated." Ginjo Kūgo turned his head and replied calmly.
"Retreat? Is it because the ordinary people around have gathered?" Kurosaki Ichigo frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although he was very reluctant, the strength shown by that guy was obviously much stronger than theirs. He clearly had the advantage, so there was no reason for him to retreat without any reason.
The only possibility is that they don't want to make the matter a big deal. Maybe the other party has any concerns?
"No……"
Ginjo Kugo flatly denied, "Based on what I know about him, if he really wants to defeat us, that situation will not affect him from continuing to fight at all.
After all, that guy didn't use his full strength from the beginning, otherwise the battle would have been over when Yukio and Riluka entered his attack range.
The reason for choosing to retreat... must be some kind of plan, right? It's just... we don't even know what the other party's purpose is."
"I think you're overthinking it?"
Yukio on the side was not happy when he heard this. He seemed to be particularly confident in his abilities, "Mr. Tsukishima also knows my abilities. In that case, how could he dare to directly attack me who controls the game terminal? He
From the beginning, he didn’t believe what I said about ‘insufficient power’. And if he was interested in Kurosaki, he wouldn’t have attacked me who was controlling Kurosaki at the time.”
"That's right..." Ginjo Kūgo nodded slightly after hearing this, and seemed to think it was not unreasonable, "Maybe he just retreated out of necessity. I hope I'm overthinking it."
"Okay, I'm going to help Kiryu. What one person can do to deal with the aftermath of the explosion is very limited. In the end, I still have to rely on money to smooth things over. Oh, it's so annoying!" Yukio complained as he prepared to leave.
"Wait, Yukio."
But just as he was about to leave, he was held back by Ginjo Kūgo.
"You stay here and practice with Ichigo."
"Huh?" Yukio looked questioning when he heard this, "Then who will handle the aftermath? You? And why should I help this guy? He and I are not friends. The most important thing is that the game console is out of power.
"
As he spoke, he raised the game console in his hand to signal.
